Original application filed Gctober 27, 1916, serial No. 128,093. Divided and this application filed Decem ber 18, 1919.

T 0 (11K "whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, FREDERICK L. FUL- LER. a citizen of the United States. residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Machines for Printing and Issuing Railway- T ickets. of which I declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to ticket issuing machines and has more particular relation to that class of ticket issuing machines adapted for use in issuing" tickets for railroad and steamship lines or other analogous uses.

The subject matter of: the present application constit-utes a division of an application of Frederick L. Fuller, Serial No. 128.093, filed October 27, 1916.

Certain of the constructions shown in the present application are not described in detail and claimed herein as it is sought to cover those constructions in the parent application and reference may be had to the same for a detailed description of those mechanisms.

The general object of this invention is to provide an improved compact and eficient machine for use in ticket ofiices of railroads, steamship lines and other lines of travel to issue tickets of diii'erent classes and accurately account for the money received for the tickets of each class, (such as full tare round trip, full fare one way, half fare round trip, half fare one way, excursion and clergyman) to each station as well as for the total amount received for all of the tickets issued by the machine. It will be apparent that the invention is capable of use in other embodiments with out constituting departure from the scope of the present invention.

One of the principal objects of this invention is to provide improved destination devices constructed to print the names of the destination stations and the classes on the tickets, retain records of 'the number of tickets of each class issued to each station and control the numbering of and the printing: of the values on the tickets. In the present embodiment but one destination device is provided for each station taken care of by the machine. Each destination device is adapted to print the name of the destinatiton station, the classes of the tickets and Serial No. 3%,836.

any other desired information as Well as control the printing of the number and value of the ticket of each particular class. In some invent-ions relating to railroad ticket machines one destination device is provided for each class of tickets to each station instead of for all classes of tickets to each station and therefore the number of destination devices is greatly increased. It is evident that in such inventions the destination devices require more space and their selection is more tedious and requires more time.

A further object of the invention is to provide improved means for selecting the desired destination devices for use and movmg it into position to print a ticket of the desired class. in the illustrative tormot' embodimentthe destination devices are carried on an endless chain, which is adjusted to move the desired destination device into position to be inserted into the printing mechanism. Then a foot pedal, appropriate to the desired class oif ticket, is operated to move the selected device into the printing mechanism so that the ticket or the desired class is printed and issued.

With these and incidental objects in "View, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts, the. essential elements of which are set forth in appended claims. and a preferred form of embodiment of which is hereinafter described with reference to the drawings which accompany and form part of the specification.

Of said drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the machine embodying the present invent-ion.

Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Fig. 6 and shows the lower pair of sprocket wheels in full.

Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2 and shows the devices for preventing operation of more than one foot pedal at a time.
